A further search of some 40's QSTs reveals that WERS NCS stations appear
to have 4-letter calls, such as WJUY and subordinates would be WJUY-1,
2, 10, 11, ad infinitum. These calls don't look like the one originally
posted, however.... Dunno?

Bill Orr had a column in either Ham Radio or CQ with a W10 card. They are
rare, but were issued for some special purpose. I think it may have been
pre war. My memory is fuzzy, but it may have been for shipboard use.

X calls were often issued for experimental stations.

I wondered if it was a WWII call for some reason. Obviously there was
no ham radio, but wasn't there some CD or emergency service that was
active during WWII, on the VHF bands? I can't say I've ever seen mention
of a W10 callsign, but perhaps it was during that period?


It appears to me to be a non-ham station license. It could be for a commercial
base station or repeater, or almost any experimenal purpose.
